Friday flashback

Ah, the 1950s—children marching to the beat of their own drummer and enjoying their moment in the summer sun. IU Bloomington's Evermann Apartments are visible in the background.

"Three of us afloat in the meadow by the swing,
Three of us aboard in the basket on the lea.
Winds are in the air, they are blowing in the spring,
And waves are on the meadow like the waves there are at sea.

Where shall we adventure, to-day that we're afloat,
Wary on the weather and steering by a star?
Shall it be to Africa, a-steering of the boat,
To Providence, or Babylon, or off to Malabar?"
